Independent assortment is the random assortment of chromosomes during the production of gametes, the results are genetically unique individual gametes. For those that want a more in depth answer I'm going to try and elaborate but also make it sound a little simpler. In a lot of, if not most cases a person has 2 copies of a gene in their cells. When your body makes gametes (egg or sperm) the gamete only gets 1 copy of the gene. The law of independent assortment is saying that whichever copy of that gene goes into the gamete is random, and also that the genes for 2 different traits (say... height and eye color) are inherited independently of each-other. I.E. not all short people have brown hair, and not all freakishly tall people blue eyes. This law is always true unless the genes are linked, which basically means that they're located very close together on the same chromosome, and they are almost always inherited together. An example being that red haired people generally have a very fair complexion.
